News Display: The Battle of Brooklyn

On August 27, 1776 General William Howe,
together with his brother Admiral Richard Howe and their British forces, known
as the Red Coats, overcame the Patriots at Gowanus Pass and emerged victorious
in the Battle of Brooklyn. The British lost only 400 men, while an estimated
1,000 Americans died. Two days later General George Washington ordered retreat
of American troops to the Island of Manhattan, saving the Continental Amy.

News will showcase this
important battle during the American Revolution -- a battle that prompted the
capture of New York City by the British -- just weeks after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence.

The Everett Cafe features educational news displays on a wide range of topics, in addition to daily postings of headlines from around the world.
